Local university was clearing out stuff since they have to move their science department because they are building a new building. I got to go in and get and grab goodies. Got a bunch of vacuum stuff and a bunch of geiger tubes and a couple scintillators, one a Bicron for X-ray diffraction and parts of another one with a 1" scintillator. Also a couple CD probes not pictured.
Trying to find the preamp power requirements for the Bicron, looks like they use them with ortec power supply with ground on pin 1 on the DB9 being ground and pin 6 being -24v. Does this sound right?

Re: Radiation Detector Haul
Got the complete Bircron detector hooked up and it works. My LeCroy scope has a histogram mode and I set it up for max pulse height and this is what I got with some U ore.
Not the greatest resolution bit at least I know it works.
